Flyer for Read Aloud West Virginia celebrating 40 years with the headline, "Read to Kids." The flyer encourages community members to become volunteer classroom readers by stating, "Change the lives of children in your community by motivating them to read for fun! Become a Volunteer Classroom Reader!" Decorative graphics include a smiling sun wearing sunglasses, a stack of books, a clock, a heart, and the outline of West Virginia. Three key messages read: "Spend 20 minutes/week," "Get paid in smiles," and "Make a difference."

Paw Paw High School was recognized at the WV Student Success Summit in Charleston last week as the recipient of the 2026 American College Application Campaign School of Excellence Award—an honor awarded to only one school in the state. Pictured is Dr. Tina Stickley, school counselor.
This prestigious recognition highlights the school’s outstanding commitment to supporting students through the college application process and expanding access to postsecondary opportunities.
